Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU) proudly brings distinction to Thailand by making history as the first institution to receive three highest-level honorary awards from the International Education Accreditation Council (IEAC), a UK-based organization that accredits international educational standards.
DPU also marked its success as Thailand’s first higher education institution to earn the highest quality assessment score of a full 5-star rating across all eight categories, reaffirming its leadership in human resource development with global standards to truly meet the demands of the future workforce.
This historic pride stems from DPU achieving full 5-star ratings in every dimension across eight main areas, becoming the first educational institution in Thailand to do so in Academic Programs, Teaching and Learning, Quality Assurance and Enhancement, and Environmental, Health & Safety.
Additional categories with perfect scores include Student Welfare, Governance, Management and Systems, Marketing and Recruitment of Students, and the Overall Rating.
Furthermore, DPU received three prestigious institutional awards globally for the first time: the Future Job Ready & Career Success Award, the Human Potential Development Award,
and the Global Education Pathways Award. These awards reflect DPU’s identity and belief that human potential development is paramount in adapting to a changing world.
DPU’s global success is not based on textbook teaching but on a visionary transformation toward fully embracing Work-Integrated Education. The Global Education Pathways Award confirms its capability to connect opportunities and knowledge from leading international institutions and organizations.
This is achieved through a strong network of partnerships with over 83 foreign organizations and collaboration with more than 3,000 leading companies to co-develop curricula aligned with rapidly evolving industry needs, allowing students to gain real work experience on projects with top companies before graduation.
One innovation distinguishing the DPU brand is the DPU Passport, a special report using Personalized Learning systems to analyze and explain individual talents and precisely guide each student’s potential development.
This innovation acts as a key enabling students to maximize their potential in actual work settings, resulting in over 1,500 companies ready to offer immediate employment to DPU students even before completing their internships.
Dr. Darika Lathapipat, President of DPU, emphasized pride in enhancing Thailand’s reputation as a Thai education brand meeting international standards. Receiving three awards and a 5-star rating from IEAC guarantees the quality of DPU, a highly prepared private university in the eyes of employers both domestically and abroad.
Our goal is to drive Potential Development toward tangible Career Success, evidenced by a 95% employment rate and starting salaries above the average for new graduates. This confirms that DPU graduates are ready to work and ready to grow in the future business world.
Aligned with modern education, DPU does not focus solely on awarding degrees upon graduation but also on advancing Potential Development to identify and cultivate each student’s true capabilities alongside guaranteeing successful career outcomes.
DPU prepares students intensively for the future world, helping them discover themselves and secure good jobs easily before connecting globally to seize international opportunities through knowledge, technology, environment, and direct experience from international professionals.
